Hensall man acts as own lawyer, loses driving case
Bruce K. Breen, 88 Nelson St.,
Hensall, lost his case when he act-
ed as his own lawyer defending a
chargeof dangerous driving, in pro-
vincial court in Exeter on March 9.
Londoners Lloyd Sloan and
Wayne Smith testified they had
been operating' their motorcycles in
a "staggered formation" heading
north on Highway 4 about 2:00
a.m. on July 18 when a car pro-
ceeding south veered over and
forccd them on to the shoulder of
the road -between Hensall and Ex-
eter.
The cyclists turned around,
caught up with the car and tried to
wave it to a stop, but the car
speeded up. -The two cyclists
turned in at the OPP office, but it
was locked. An argument ensued
when Breen and his passenger
drove into the lot 100.
Sloan and Smith finally broke
away and resumed their northward
journey, only to be followed by
Breen who again tried to 'force
them off the road. They pulled in
behind a northbound car for -protec-
tion, and reported the incident to a
police officer in Clinton.
Judge R.G.E. Hunter discounted
statements from Breen and his wit-
ncss, saying the accused had been
playing cat and mouse with the
two motorcycle riders. Breen was
convicted of dangerous driving,
fined S750 with 90 days to pay or
60 days in jail, and had his driver's
licence suspended for 12 months.
Another Hensall resident, _Daniel
Bedour of 176 Oxford St., pleaded
guilty to impaired driving. He had
been spotted by an officer in an.un
(narked patrol car on September 26 •
speeding along King St. in Hensall

An encouraging numbcr of resi-
dents and friends gathered in the
Family Life Centre of Hibbert
United Church for a community fo-
rum on one of society's pressing is-
sues - the -management of.garbagc.
Special speakers were Ian Ncss-
Jack, Environmental Officer from
London, Gary Kemp, Roads super-
intendent for Hibbert Township and
Peter Huiterrta, a Logan Township
Councillor.
Two facts became clear: the costs
of establishing a new land -fill site
are -tremendous; sorting and recy-
cling garbage prolongs the life of a
current site. Those present ex-
pressed their willingness to sort
their own garbage. The need to de-
crease the volume of- our throw-
aways was also noted.
Discussion continued over a
4 snack served by the committee for
the evening - Joast and Sine Drost,
Valerie Scott, Calvin and Gwen
Christie and Bert and Margaret Day -
nand.
Our congratulations- to all those
in the community who were recip-
ients of medals and certificates at
the Celebration 88 Awards presenta-
tion. -

Church joined the Cromarty Pres-
